#contactcenterworldWashington, DC, USA, Nov 16, 2015 -- Washington Gas, a WGL Holdings (NYSE:WGL) company, announced that it will establish its customer service, credit and collections and billing operations in Virginia through a new five-year agreement with Faneuil, a call center services company specializing in customer care for the utility and other industries. Through this agreement, more than 200 new jobs will be established in Virginia as Washington Gas transitions from offshore customer service operations to two fully redundant call centers in Hampton and Martinsville by the end of next year.

Adrian Chapman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Washington Gas and WGL Holdings said, "Our mission is to provide energy answers to our customers – quickly and simply – and I am confident we have selected a partner that will help us achieve new highs in customer satisfaction."

Washington Gas will begin the transition of its call center operations to Faneuil this year and expects to complete the customer service and credit and collections transition by the end of July 2016. The billing operations transition is expected to be completed by the end of calendar year 2016.

"We welcome WGL's decision to bring more than 200 Washington Gas jobs to Virginia, another tangible sign of the progress we are making to foster business growth in the Commonwealth," said Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe. "While this agreement supports our efforts to build a new Virginia economy, we are also encouraged by the customer experience benefits it promises for Washington Gas customers in Virginia and throughout its service territory.""We are honored to have been selected by Washington Gas to provide customer care and supporting services for its more than one million customers in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia," said Faneuil President and Chief Executive Officer Anna Van Buren. "As our companies establish and build this new partnership, Faneuil’s ongoing objective will be to focus intently on the needs of Washington Gas customers in delivering consistently exceptional service that reinforces the distinctive brand of Washington Gas," she added. "We are also proud to be able to join Washington Gas in creating more than 200 jobs in our home state of Virginia."
